Lyrics

Once upon a time, there was a little young boy
He was walking, along the road like a stranger
Dreaming one day he'll be a great man
He keeps trying, try and reach for the sky

He gets lost more than he tries, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
'Cause the baby's cry when is future he'll learn more

He gets lost more than he tries, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
'Cause a woman still loves says when she's in my heart
